Welcome Home of Chattanooga is creating a community of care at Quiet Creek Trail that will serve as a sanctuary for those who need medical respite for cancer treatment or compassionate end-of-life care. In 2020, we purchased almost five acres with three existing buildings. We have renovated all three buildings into beautiful homes for people needing shelter and loving care. We have plans to add small 1-2 bedroom cottages and another 4 bedroom home soon.

The Journey to Quiet Creek
Not everyone who faces a critical illness has someone to walk alongside them. Since 2015, Welcome Home has been working to fill this gap. 120 residents have made Welcome Home their home when it was needed most.
Creating a safe place with shelter, access to meals, appropriate medical care and love through family-style care is how Welcome Home works to meet the needs of people every single day.
Now, Welcome Home is creating a community of care at Quiet Creek designed to impact all who are a part: residents, staff, volunteers, and community champions. We seek to nurture empathy, compassion, and kindness, acting in ways to bring about peace, reconciliation and wholeness - and creating a ripple effect that resonates far beyond our campus.
Our residents
Each of our residents has been a teacher and a guide. Sammy was our first resident. We cooked our first meal at Welcome Home for his wife and ate with her as we kept vigil for him. Others came, trusting us with their care.
9 years. 120 residents. Countless lives – volunteers, residents, families, care staff – forever changed.
Ways to support
Your donation goes a long way in helping us create a community of hope, healing, and compassion for those who are facing a serious illness or death and need safe shelter.

From WDEF
“The non-profit just moved into its new five acre facility in 2020. And now, phase two of expansion is complete, an additional three-bedroom home, specifically for homeless cancer patients who need shelter to receive treatment. While the first home on site is for hospice care, this new home is a bit different.”
